Section 2254 Of Chapter 3. Temporary Guardians And Conservators From California Probate Code >> Division 4. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 3.
2254
. (a) Notwithstanding Section 2253, a temporary conservator may
remove a temporary conservatee from the temporary conservatee's
place of residence without court authorization if an emergency
exists. For the purposes of this section, an emergency exists if the
temporary conservatee's place of residence is unfit for habitation or
if the temporary conservator determines in good faith based upon
medical advice that the case is an emergency case in which removal
from the place of residence is required (1) to provide medical
treatment needed to alleviate severe pain or (2) to diagnose or treat
a medical condition which, if not immediately diagnosed and treated,
will lead to serious disability or death.
(b) No later than one judicial day after the emergency removal of
the temporary conservatee, the temporary conservator shall file a
written request pursuant to Section 2253 for authorization to fix the
residence of the temporary conservatee at a place other than the
temporary conservatee's previous place of residence.
(c) Nothing in this chapter prevents a temporary conservator from
removing a temporary conservatee from the place of residence to a
health facility for treatment without court authorization when the
temporary conservatee has given informed consent to the removal.
(d) Nothing in this chapter prevents a temporary conservator from
removing a temporary conservatee without court authorization from one
health facility where the conservatee is receiving medical care to
another health facility where the conservatee will receive medical
care.
